Rewards are very motivating! I compiled this list of FREE reading reward programs, to help encourage your child to read more. Some programs are available yearly while others are only offered during the summer, and a couple on my list are local to Riverside, CA….. Read over the list and see which programs would work well for your family, class or group!
- Audio Books Sync – During the summer teens 13+ will be able to download 2 Free audiobooks a week.
- BAM! Books-A-Million “Summer Reading Adventure” – Child reads any four books from the summer reading adventure and they receive a free drawstring backpack.
- Barnes & Noble “Book Your Summer” – Read 8 Books, log the name and favorite part of the book in your journal, and receive a free book! (Teens and adults can participate in this program).
- Chipotle “Reading is Fundamentally delicious” – This program is for groups, teachers and homeschool co-ops, from what I understand. I will look into it further but it looks like they are not accepting applications at this time.
- Chuck E. Cheese Rewards – Download the Reading Rewards calendar. Your child reads a book a day for two weeks, earning them 10 free play points. (They have many other reward calendars and certificates to earn more play points).

Your article about The Ultimate List of Reading
Reward Programs for Kids – Creative Home Life is the best I have read! The creativehomelife.com
site is interesting and useful, keep it that way! Kisses everyone! 🙂
This woulda definitely got me reading more when I was a kid, lol. I remember having summer reading for Honors English – whew, man did I procrastinate on that!
That was my hope when creating this list… That these programs would excite kids to read more.
I heard if you delay your child’s reading skill development until he or she enters school, you are putting your child at risk…
Did you know that 67% of all Grade 4 students cannot read at a proficient level!
I did not know that. Reading is very important, we ready everyday in our home 🙂
I love reading your site.
